A Massachusetts state senator, inspired by a story posted on TikTok by a Northeastern student, has filed a bill that would establish a protocol for date rape drug testing in hospitals

A Northeastern University student’s TikTok could soon make it easier for anyone in Massachusetts to get tested for date rape drugs. She posted on social media about her frustrating experience getting denied at a local hospital and it caught the attention of a state lawmaker who is now trying to help.

“It was the first time I had ever experienced this and I just wanted to know what drug was in my body,” Meelia said. “They said I couldn’t since there was no criminal activity involved. Tell me why drugging someone isn’t considered criminal activity,” Meelia said in her TikTok. “Because we can’t change what we can’t measure and if we’re not offering the right test to victims in their time of need, then we are not accurately measuring this problem,” Feeney said.
